You haven't lived until you've had one of those shifter handles finished in black velvet. Of course, the velvet came off fairly quickly.

My imagination is filling that portion of the pic in with something like this. It's probably both of them in bikinis rubbing mud on each other.

I had that 928 as a kid !

IF I remember correctly it eventually met it's demise in a fiery crash
eg, glue inside, light it up , make it crash into another innocent car

Original photo above is an unfortunate Photoshop victim. WAY to much color saturation to look real. Nice photo, but not to my taste. The original may well be fine, but someone learned about the color saturation slider in Photoshop and went nuts. Just my opinion, others have said I was wrong in the past, but I think they are wrong.


There is no way to post edit it to get back to total realistic, but this is likely closer to reality. Still a pretty picture.

Sorry I didn't mean to steal your pic. I saw it in the DL folder and thought it useful for others.

Sorry that the freak accident happened to that fine truck.
I hope it was salvageable...keep us updated.

I've got a buddy that's gotten really into model railroad stuff. he's been buying trains like mad. I think he may do multiple scales, but I'm not sure. He's wanting to start a youtube channel.

I told him he had to wear a train engineer costume.





I don't think he's going to do it, which is probably a huge mistake.
